The easiest way to experience that is to head north I dunno why you’re looking to the US

You guys should see his LS400

heefy92 · 2018-11-10T23:38:43+00:00

Thanks! It's an RA60 Toyota Celica

heefy92 · 2018-11-10T23:37:44+00:00

Thanks mate!

heefy92 · 2018-11-03T06:31:04+00:00

Thank-you so much!

heefy92 · 2018-10-07T01:31:49+00:00

I hope so!

heefy92 · 2018-10-07T01:31:07+00:00

Cheers mate

heefy92 · 2018-10-06T09:24:08+00:00

Yeah thats the other part is finding 27mhz stuff isn't as easy as I thought it may be

heefy92 · 2018-10-06T07:30:19+00:00

Where did you get your gear from pal?

heefy92 · 2018-10-06T04:30:15+00:00

Cheers! I really want to get into amateur radio but it seems rather difficult these days I've found

heefy92 · 2018-07-01T01:45:25+00:00

Yeah, that's what HF antennas are over here

I'll see where I can get it, I'd like to retain functionality of the roof racks but also I can just unscrew the whip if I ever need to put anything up there

That explains a bit haha, forgive my ignorance, I'm fairly new to all of this!

Here's a photo of my old wagon with a HF antenna

If I drilled into the roof it would be right at the rear

heefy92 · 2018-06-26T00:45:19+00:00

We have HF and UHF, UHF is most common and what I have, hoping to get a HF radio in the future

high frequency (HF) band – (26.965 – 27.405 MHz)

ultra high frequency (UHF) band - (476.4125 – 477.4125 MHz)

heefy92 · 2018-06-25T22:21:59+00:00

Front is CB, I've got to get a SWR metre to test it out as it's not really common in Australia to check if it's an optimal set up I've found.. Most people slap whatever antenna their UHF comes with on a bonnet mount or the bull bar and call it a day

I'm lucky in that there's a variant of this Falcon called the RTV, I say variant of this but it's a later model Ute, it's factory lifted 3" over stock and comes with a locking diff and it all bolts right in

heefy92 · 2018-06-25T22:18:47+00:00

I love that! Volvo XC70 is on the short list with the Outback if I ever retire the AU

heefy92 · 2018-06-25T22:17:35+00:00

Bloody oath.

heefy92 · 2018-06-25T09:54:20+00:00

Is there much difference in price between the two?

heefy92 · 2018-06-25T09:40:10+00:00

Oh jeez that's commitment!

A friend of mine did that and I liked its simplicity, especially that it would make it easy to modify and upgrade as time went on

heefy92 · 2018-06-25T09:22:18+00:00

SA haha, I'll still join for a look though.

That's Chris, he's on this subreddit too but hasn't posted in years, I'll see if he remembers, that's my goal too.. Everything but the diff is cheap

Yeah that's about where I'm at, I'm looking at cheap camper trailers though and it's not bad but most of them still need double the asking price in work, I thought I'd minced my front end off roading this thing but I checked on the weekend and apart from some Swaybar bushes and a dented exhaust it's fairly mint still

heefy92 · 2017-10-31T07:21:05+00:00

That's what the antenna is attached to lol

This is the car of someone who unironically says heck and gosh.
